Netflix’s new film from Jerry Seinfeld, Unfrosted, features an unexpected appearance of a Disney Legend, portrayed by legendary actor Hugh Grant. What’s Happening: Unfrosted, which is written, directed and stars Jerry Seinfeld, is a humorous retelling of the fierce corporate battle between sworn cereal rivals Kellogg’s and Post in 1963, as they race to create […]

Signs for a Tinker Bell meet and greet have been removed from Town Square Theater, years after the character stopped meeting guests there.
The outdoor sign advertising for a Tinker Bell meet and greet has been replaced with a second sign for Mickey Mouse.
Guests used to have the option to choose to meet Tinker Bell or Master Magician Mickey Mouse inside Town Square Theater, but Tink has not appeared since the closure of Magic Kingdom due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When regular meet and greets returned in April of 2022, only Mickey appeared in Town Square Theater. The removal of Tinker Bell signage indicates she will not be meeting here for the foreseeable future.
Here’s a look at the Town Square Theater exterior before Tinker Bell stopped meeting there. Her sign, which included a wait time, was on the left side of the entrance.
A Cast Member indicated to us that the change is to make way for Jack and Sally from “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” however those characters only meet during the Halloween and Christmas seasons, leaving the space empty for the rest of the year.
All traces of Tinker Bell have also been removed from inside the theater, with Mickey’s poster being duplicated to take Tinker Bell’s vacant spot.
The sign reads “Town Square Theater proudly presents backstage magic with Mickey Mouse.” There is an image of Mickey and the wait time listed below him.
Were you hoping for Tinker Bell to return to Town Square Theater? Let us know in the comments below.

Even if you don’t have a kiddo in your life, chances are you’ve heard of Bluey anyway. This hit Australian children’s television show has taken the world by storm — and for good reason.

The show has been praised for its heart, imaginative sequences, and comedy that’s funny to both children and adults. Disney+ acquired the international distribution rights for the show in 2019, but not all episodes were available on the streaming service. Now, an infamous “banned” episode has been released online — for free!
If you’ve been wanting to watch the controversial “banned” episode of Bluey, you’re in luck! The show’s creators have released the episode on the official Bluey YouTube channel.

In the episode, Bluey’s little sister Bingo finds a baby carrier that their dad, Bandit, used to carry her around. When Bingo gets in, the kids pretend Bandit is pregnant. He then acts out pregnancy symptoms, like cravings and aches, and later gives “birth” to Bingo in an inflatable pool.
Though Disney has not officially confirmed the episode’s plotline is what has kept it from the streaming service, fans have speculated that’s the cause.

In a 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the show’s creator Joe Brumm said that while episodes like “Dad Baby” don’t “get shown in America,” he felt that this episode was too special to not make. “What are you going to do, not make ‘Dad Baby’? I love it,” he continued.

The post NEWS: Banned Disney+ Episode of ‘Bluey’ Released Online first appeared on the disney food blog.
The Downtown Disney District is constantly changing. We are anticipating the opening of six (!!!) new restaurants in the coming months, and some are already beginning to open!
Downtown Disney
Three new restaurants from Chef Carlos Gaytán recently opened, and we are eating our way through them. We recently ate at Céntrico, and now we are checking out another new restaurant!
We are heading to try out Tiendita today! This newly opened quick-service restaurant is located on the west side of Downtown Disney. Tiendita is part of a trio of restaurants created by Michelin-starred Chef Carlos Gaytán that recently opened in Downtown Disney. The trio includes Paseo, Céntrico, and Tiendita. Paseo is the upstairs dining room, Céntrico is a bar and open-air restaurant, and Tiendita is the quick-service option.
Tiendita
Let’s head to Tiendita and see what it is all about!
Tiendita is a quick-service restaurant where you will order at a kiosk. The restaurant does not have its own seating, so you will need to find your own spot to enjoy your food.
Ordering Area
We found the kiosk to be simple to use and straightforward. You can browse the menu and then make your selections on one of the screens.
Ordering Kiosk
So, let’s see what food Tiendita has to offer!
The menu at Tiendita has lots of classics, including tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas, and more. There is a good variety, but almost all the items are going to be Mexican-inspired dishes.
Full Menu
You can choose from a selection of tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and nachos.
Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas, and Nachos
You can also get ceviches, salads, tostadas, sides, and desserts.
Ceviches, Salads, Tostadas, Sides, and Desserts
There is also a kid’s menu and a decent selection of beverages.
Kid’s Menu and Drinks
Now, let’s get to the food and drink!
We got a TON of food. Hope you’re ready because we have a lot to say.
The Full Spread
We are starting off with the Jamaica Agua Fresca, which has hibiscus flower-flavored water and cardamom. It costs $7.
Jamaica Agua Fresca
We were a bit surprised at how small it was for a large size, but the taste is what really matters! We thought it was light and refreshing, with a subtle hibiscus taste. This drink would be perfect for a hot day and tastes very natural. It tasted like the real thing, not like a bunch of syrups were used to make it. We felt it was a bit expensive for what you got, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.
Such a pretty color!
Next up, we are trying the Street Corn which is made with corn, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, chili powder, lime juice, and epazote. This side dish is vegetarian and costs $7.
Street Corn
This was probably our favorite item that we got at Tiendita. It is not spicy at all, but the ingredients all come together really well. The cream on top is tasty and the mayo goes well with the lime, cotija, and chili powder. Each ingredient had the perfect amount inside this dish. Our biggest recommendation is to make sure you mix it all together before you dive in. That way you get a bit of each ingredient for a perfect bite.
So much yumminess!
We are moving on to the Cheese Nachos. This dish contains corn chips, cheese sauce, tomato, green onion, pickled jalapeño, and avocado. This dish is also vegetarian and costs $12.
Cheese Nachos
Overall, we didn’t think these nachos knocked it out of the park. In fact, we would kind of compare them to your average ballpark nachos. The dominant flavor is the jalapeño and they do have a bit of a kick to them. You can always ask for them without jalapeños if you want a mild option. The ingredients don’t really blend together, so you can really taste each individual element. It definitely needed more cheese on it though, and the cheese that was there was your typical nacho cheese sauce. There is nothing special to these nachos, but if you are craving a quick, classic nacho snack these would likely do the trick.
Time to dig in!
Now, let’s try out the Acapulco Ceviche. This ceviche is made with shrimp, tomato juice, ketchup, orange juice, lime juice, tabasco, and Pico de Gallo. This dish is dairy-free and costs $14.
Acapulco Ceviche
We thought this dish was very yummy! There was lots of tomato flavor and the Pico de Gallo provides a great freshness and aromatic flavor. The onion and parsley work really well in this dish. We didn’t taste much of the tabasco here, and we didn’t find it to be spicy. There is no fishy flavor in this either, but overall, the shrimp was just okay. The shrimp didn’t stand out to us in this dish, but that could be a good thing if you are not a huge fan of shellfish. We really thought the pico was the star of this dish, and a great option if you love tomato-forward meals.
It is shrimp time!
We are finishing off with the Chicken Tacos. The tacos have barbacoa chicken, romaine lettuce, sour cream, queso fresco, tomato, guacamole, onion, and salsa verde. They are served three per order on corn tortillas. You can get these tacos for $13.
Chicken Tacos
They do not skimp on the guacamole on these tacos! These tacos were a bit messy, but the tortilla was thick and tasty. There is lots of well-seasoned chicken. The chicken was tender and full of flavor. The tomato and cheese were the perfect accompaniment to the guacamole and chicken. We do wish there was a bit more onion, though. The dish is not spicy at all unless you add the salsa.
Yum!
We got the salsa verde, but you can also get salsa roja or none. The salsa verde had a bit of a kick at the end. We thought these were filling for the price, we just wish they were a bit easier to eat. We ended up having to eat them with a fork as they were falling apart.
We thought this was a good quick-service option in Downtown Disney if you are looking for a quick, no-frills location. The restaurant offers lots of classic Mexican dishes for a fairly reasonable price. The restaurant is pretty small, and that would be one negative. There is no seating as part of Tiendita, so you will need to hunt for a place to eat. This could be challenging if you are in Downtown Disney on a busy day. Our favorite dishes included the Street Corn and Shrimp Acapulco, but we found the food to be flavorful, satisfying and pretty decent portions for the price. There was nothing that really amazed us, but the food was all very enjoyable. It is an easy place to grab a yummy, quick bite that will fill you up. We also want to give a quick warning about the utensils. The utensils are wooden, and we got a splinter using them, so do be careful!
You may want to make a stop by Tiendita if…
You may want to skip Tiendita if…

When it comes to your Disney World vacation, it’s always a good idea to expect the unexpected.
EPCOT
Your flight could be delayed, you could be late for a dinner reservation, or even worse — you could get STUCK on a ride. As much as we hate to admit it, things can go wrong in Disney World. And, that’s exactly what happened to us on a recent trip to EPCOT!
Disney World rides can break down for any number of reasons, but usually when it requires a full evacuation that means something, somewhere has likely malfunctioned. We were forced to evacuate Test Track at EPCOT when our car decided to, you know, stop doing the zooming thing. But, it wasn’t just a normal evacuation because we were in a very unfortunate place when it happened.
Test Track
Take a look at just where we got stuck and had to be evacuated from when we were riding Test Track one recent day!
Aaaaand someone hit the brake! We’re getting evacuated off of Test Track today at an unfortunate spot!

— Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) May 2, 2024
If you are on a ride that does stop like this, that’s exactly what you should do: wait patiently for the ride to either start moving again or for a Cast Member to give you other instructions.
Do NOT get out of the ride vehicle unless a Cast Member tells you to do so.
Test Track ride vehicle
We know just sitting there can be nerve-wracking, but Cast Members will not forget about you. They are working as quickly as they can to ensure sure you make a safe exit off the ride (one way or another). You may hear instructions over an intercom, or you may need to wait until a Cast Member approaches your ride vehicle, but you will be told exactly what you need to do.
Test Track
And, don’t forget that Test Track is getting a retheme! Disney hasn’t released too many details about what the ride experience will be like just yet, but, they did mention that it will take inspiration from World of Motion, the ride that was originally there when the park opened in 1982! We can’t wait to experience this reimagined ride.
Hopefully, this doesn’t happen to you on your Disney World trip — unless you want to get a brand new perspective on a ride! Stay tuned to DFB as we bring you the latest updates and more from Disney World!

Ok, we usually like the decisions Disney World makes about bringing new exciting attractions, rides, and experiences to its theme parks but this is one we’re having our doubts about now.
Smellephants on Parade
Magic Kingdom has just welcomed a brand-new attraction that could take you on a wild journey of the senses in one of its lands, BUT… we’ve recently had one of our DFB readers pose a very valid concern.
Magic Kingdom’s newest addition to one of its lands was met with quite a divisive introduction! When the new Smellephants on Parade was initially announced as an upcoming attraction to the Storybook Circus land of the park, Disney fans may have been a bit confused by the decision initially. After its initial announcement and plans to clear out the areas around where they would eventually call home started rolling, we all seemed to start to come around to the idea.
Storybook Circus
What sets these fun “smellephants” apart from becoming another piece of whimsical decor around the land could also be its downfall. One of our readers seems to think this new attraction will be met with challenges right out of the gate.
Hot Dog
We’ve spotted these adorable creatures popping up all over Storybook Circus and had a little interoffice fun guessing where the next would pop up and what its theme might be. Now that their installation is complete, we finally know their scents!
Cotton Candy Elephant
That’s right… scent. Disney has teamed up with Scentsy to bring this new attraction to life in an inventive and unique way. Each of these loveable elephants is themed to snacks in both their appearance and their scent.
How cute!
Taking this one step further, the original plan for the design is to play your own scavenger hunt — literally sniffing out your next smellephant before finding clues leading you on to the next. That being said, one of our observant readers has pointed out that this is a popular place to sit and relax (especially for those hot and tired parents) to rest against the walls and surrounding scenery while their little ones play and explore. Are you already noting a potential problem here?
Would you ask someone to step aside while you smell the elephant?
Yes… things could get awkward really quickly when you walk up to a resting person and (politely) ask them to move so you can sniff the smell behind them. (Yeah, you didn’t want to see the facial expression I just made typing that out).
Smellephants on Parade
Since the attraction just opened, we’ll see if this becomes an issue!
We’re always interested in your take on what Disney World is doing next! Be sure to leave your thoughts for us on this one and more in the comments below and stay tuned with us to find out how things go for the Smellephants.

We’re those people who can’t go to Disney World without packing at least one pair of ears (okay, in all honesty, it’s never JUST a single pair of ears).
ALL the ears
You see, the problem is that Disney just keeps releasing new ears, and a lot of those new ears are SO fun or cute or quirky that we just HAVE to have them. Well, if you’re curious about how many pairs of ears Disney World has already released this year, we’ve got you covered because we’re going to go through ALL of them.
So we’ll warn you…this could take a while. As we said, Disney is ALWAYS releasing new pairs of ears.
2024 Graduation ear hat
If you’re a 2024 graduate, you’ll want to get your hands on this ear hat, especially if you’re celebrating in Disney World. It has a grad cap on top, complete with a tassel.
Minnie Mouse Pizza Ear Headband for Adults
These ears look good enough to eat! We’ve been loving all the merchandise in the Disney Eats collection, but these ears take the cake…err…pizza pie.
Princess Anna Ears
Frozen fans will immediately recognize the pattern on these ears because they match Princess Anna’s dress. You’ve got the embroidery on the ears from her dress, as well as a double bow in two of her signature colors.
Hydrangea Ears
No, this color is NOT blue. It’s hydrangea and it’s sparkling. These Loungefly ears are for those who have the blues (or just love blue).
Lollipop Ears
Is there anything more iconic than those massive lollipops from Main Street Confectionery? Well, if you love that look, these ears are just for you because they’re channeling those colorful lollipops.
Jasmine Veiled Minnie Ears
Princess Jasmine has such a unique look and these ears are inspired by her outfit’s colors and embroidery. They even have a pretty jewel in the center of the bow and a veil in the back.
Macaron Ears
Here’s another pair of ears from the Disney Eats collection. These are for those who love macarons (yes, we visit Les Halles quite a bit). We love all the vibrant colors on these ears.

Lion King Ears
The Circle of Life is something to be celebrated as is The Lion King, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. These ears feature the most important phrase uttered in a Disney movie: “Hakuna Matata.”
“it’s a small world” Ears
It really is a small world, after all, and here’s the way to share your love for that classic Disney attraction. These ears feature some of the dolls from the attraction, along with a sparkly pink bow.

These cute Mickey ears are ushering in summer with a pattern of pretty flowers, including a few with bedazzled centers.

These ears are dedicated to the First Avenger, Captain America. They feature a design inspired by a classic Captain America outfit with his signature “A” in the center of the bow.
Avengers Ears
These ears feature original art by Sara Pichelli of the Avengers, perhaps the greatest superhero team of all time. They feature Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel.
Jack and Sally Ears
This couple was simply meant to be…on this pretty pair of ears. These ears channel the night sky and have cards of the star-crossed lovers in the middle of the bow.
Cinderella minnie ears
We can’t get over how awesome these Cinderella Ears are. They feature a carriage on one side (formerly a pumpkin) and a pretty double bow with a clock about to strike midnight in the center.
R2-D2 Ears
Represent Star Wars sassiest droid with a pair of ears inspired by his look. These sequin ears have a blue R2-D2 bow. They even say “Beep Boop” on the back.
BoardWalk Inn Ears
Now these ears are EXCLUSIVE to Disney World, meaning you probably won’t be able to get them online. But we spotted some ears representing Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, and they are gorgeous.
Minnie flower ears
These pretty Minnie Flower Ears were discovered at Big Top Souvenirs in Storybook Circus. They’re covered in flowers and have a sparkly bow.
Grogu minnie ears
These Grogu Ears are perfect for Star Wars fans. They’re fuzzy with an even fuzzier bow and an embroidered Grogu in the center.
Light up Minnie Ears
We LOVE the design of these clear ears that light up! They’ve got all the park icons on them with a pretty blue bow in the middle and a blue headband.
Black and Gold castle ears
Cinderella Castle stands out in gold on these pretty black ears with gold details. A sequined bow ties the whole look together.
Stitch ears!
Experiment 626 never looked sweeter than he looks on these ears. The ears are covered in Stitch, and he’s also in the center of a pretty embroidered bow.
Orange Bird Ears
Orange Bird is the star of the ears that were released for the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival. These ears feature Orange Bird, all over them, as well as icons from EPCOT.
Dooney & Bourke Minnie Ears
For those of you who love Dooney & Bourke designs, there’s a pair of ears with classic Mickey and Minnie on them, all tied together with a neutral bow.
Snow White Minnie ears
Just one bite…that’s all it takes. These Snow White Ears take inspiration from the Disney Princess’ red, blue, and white dress. We like the double bow here, including a red bow just like the one Snow wears in her hair.
Old Key West Minnie Ears
These gorgeous Loungefly ears are all about representing Disney’s Old Key West Resort. They’re giving off serious Florida vibes with a Florida license plate in the center of the bow.
Peach Punch Ears
Peach punch was a big color earlier in the year, so these Minnie ears are channeling that peachy color that makes us think of summer.
Graduation ears!
If you’re not an ear hat kind of person, Disney World also released an ear headband for the Class of 2024. It’s got a smaller little cap on it with a tassel.
Infinity Stones ears
We kinda lost our minds when we found these gorgeous gold Infinity Stones ears. They are just SO pretty. This is the only way to collect all the Infinity Stones, right?
‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Minnie Ears
Speaking of Marvel, these Guardians of the Galaxy Ears are SUH-WEET. We love the Awesome Mix Tape in the center of the bow that looks like the actual tape you’d find in a cassette (yes, we know what that is).
Unicorn Minnie ears
Okay, so these ears are SO fantastical because they’re pretty and colorful and have a unicorn horn in the middle of them with a veil in the back.
Beach Minnie ears
Minnie is ready for some fun in the sun on these ears that feature straw-like ears with a pretty bow reminiscent of the summer sky.
Yacht Club Ears
We are OBSESSED with the resort ear collection, and these Yacht Club ears could be our favorite pair yet. We love the lifesaver ears with the sparkly blue bow and the Yacht Club logo in the middle.
Sands of Tatooine Ears
These ears are part of the new Star Wars collection, Sands of Tatooine, and they channel the color of the sand on Tatooine (which Anakin hates, by the way). We also love the embroidery on the ears.
Stitch Munchlings ears
Combine Stitch with food and you get these adorable Stitch Munchlings ears that look good enough to drink because they’re inspired by lemonade!
Whew! That’s a lot of ears, but we’ll keep an eye out for even more, so stay tuned to DFB!
